CHICAGO, Oct 10-A dispatch from Nor
folk, Va, printed here this morning made
Gen. A K. Parsons, brother of the con-
demned Anarchist, say that he had proof
that the bomb was thrown at the Hay
market by Pinkerton detectives. I'm No
vember, 1867 says Gen. Parsons, ''the
Hon John Hays wrote me to send to Room
Is, 70 Broadway, New York, for informa-
ton concerning my brothers case. Capt.
Black and | asked Mr. Louis +. Post to see
wha t was in it. Mr.. Post was told by one
of the best lawyers in New York that a
newspaper man who had worked for the
New y orll Star, but more recently in Chi
cago, had exhibited, while flushed with wine
at Delmonico's, a large roll of bills, saving
that certain Chicago papers were paying
him well to stay away from Chicago be-
cause lie alone held evidence that would
clear the accused Anarchists of the bomb
throwing charges The lawyer told Mr.. Post
that he saw the bills and heard the young
mans statement"
Capt. Black was asked to-day what he had
to say on the subject.
1.-The statement is true. Mr.. Post, of New
York city, Investigated the matter and re-
ported substantially what is stated in the
Dispatch
"Will you produce the professional report
of Mr. PostP
~ do not feel at liberty to do so without
first obtaining the consent OF Mr.. POST"
"Who is the reporter referred tor
II cannot give you his name at present
nor that of the man who heard the reporter
make the statement in question. 1t would
not be proper for me to do so until l have
obtained Mr.. Posts permission. We never
got into communication with the reporter,
and do not know what his knowledge was
We did however, substantiate the fact that
there was such a reporter; that he was in
Chicago at the time the bomb was thrown;
that he left very soon afterward, and that
he did work for a time thereafter on the
New York Star"
